No doubt the female is wingless like those of other species of 

 the genus, and as the male is unusually large, it must be a very 

 striking form. 



This is a very extraordinary species, and I cannot be positive 

 that it is correctly placed in the present genus. It is apparently 

 closely related to some East Indian species of Puliciphora {P. 

 pulex Dahl and P. lucifera Dahl), but unfortunately these are 

 imperfectly known. The enlarged palpi are unique in the genus 

 so far as I know, although similarly swollen palpi are of occasional 

 occurrence in Phora and Aphiochwta. The venation and frontal 

 chsetotaxy, however, exclude it from either of these genera and 

 from Hypocera as well. It is undoubtedly a very interesting 

 addition to our fauna.
